  2. Add a "Custom HTML" block.
  3. Paste the Opinafy embed code.
  4. Publish or update the page.

Option B: Header/Footer Plugin

If you want testimonials on every page:

  1. Install a plugin like "Insert Headers and Footers" (WPCode) or "Header Footer Code Manager".
  2. Go to Settings > Insert Headers and Footers.
  3. Paste the Opinafy code in the "Footer" section.
  4. Save changes.

Option C: Shortcode (advanced users)

Add this to your functions.php file:

php
function opinafy_widget_shortcode() {
  return '<script src="https://opinafy.com/widget.js" data-project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"></script>';
}
add_shortcode('opinafy', 'opinafy_widget_shortcode');

Then use [opinafy] in any page or post.

Verify it works

  1. Visit the page where you inserted the widget.
  2. It should automatically load and display your approved testimonials.
  3. If you don't see anything, verify you have testimonials with "Approved" status in your dashboard.
  4. Check that the project ID is correct.

Tip: If you use a caching plugin (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.), clear the cache after adding the widget to see changes immediately.
